Abstract:
A plasma processing apparatus includes; a chamber, a lower electrode disposed within the chamber and including a lower surface and an opposing upper surface configured to seat a wafer, an RF rod disposed on the lower surface of the lower electrode and extending in a vertical direction. The RF plate includes a first portion contacting the lower surface of the lower electrode, a second portion protruding from the first portion towards the RF rod, and a third portion extending from the second portion to connect the RF rod. A grounding electrode is spaced apart from the RF plate and at least partially surrounds a side wall of the RF rod and a side wall of the second portion of the RF plate. The grounding electrode includes a first grounding electrode facing each of the side wall of the RF rod and the second portion of the RF plate, and a second grounding electrode at least partially surrounding the first grounding electrode, and configured to horizontally rotate.
